MIT DNA Wizard Predicts How to Make Pyramids, Cubes, and More Out of DNA

Posted: Published on December 7th, 2014

Technology doesn't exist yet to make his predicted 3D DNA wireframes, but he's validated his model on exotic 2D structures When you're a super-intellect at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) sometimes you don't really worry about what practical uses of your science experiment. Sometimes you just want to make something that looks cool. I. Spicing Up the Double Helix That seems to be the story with MIT's new DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) "coasters". They're beautifully patterned, outlandish polymeric constructs. Oh there's the usual justification about potentially using the technology to create custom DNA scaffolds for novel drug targeting. But mostly they just look really incredibly awesome. In nature, of course, DNA is most commonly found in the familiar double helix. Chromosomes are formed of incredibly long strands of DNA coiled around polarized proteins, which then further assemble into a tightly compacted, information dense structure. The genome is selectively uncoiled for processing. In the past two decades scientists have toyed with the idea of more exotic DNA structures. Some of the early efforts have gone towards creating so-called "DNAzymes" (aka deoxyribozymes). While not thought to occur naturally, these synthetic enzymes can mimic the action of ribozymes and have potential in targeted … Continue reading →

WVU Chemistry Department Presents Annual Children’s Chemistry Show

Posted: Published on December 7th, 2014

MORGANTOWN - West Virginia University's Chemistry Department presented its annual 'Children's Chemistry Show.' There was a 75 minute presentation show that featured demonstrations, hands-on activities, and for those who wanted a tour of the WVU Chemistry facilities. "So what we try to do is find some things that are interesting, but still entertaining and to get people interested in what Chemistry is about. It is basically figuring out how to make new materials and things like that," said Terry Gullion, professor of Chemistry. Some of the most popular demonstrations from years past returned while many of the demonstrations were brand new. "It's an opportunity to start giving kids a hands on. 'This is what chemistry is, this is what you want to do if you go down this road.' And I think it's very interesting stuff," Gullion said. Even when the show was over, the learning didn't stop. The children could participate in activities with the faculty and volunteers that consisted of undergraduate students from the university. "All we think about is stimulate interest because kids at this stage, their imagination is wild. Whenever you can give them a chance to lead that imagination onto science, I always think that … Continue reading →

Benefits Persist in T Cell Therapy for Children with Relapsed Leukemia

Posted: Published on December 7th, 2014

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise Philadelphia, Dec. 6, 2014 An innovative cell therapy against a highly aggressive form of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) continues to show highly promising results in children treated in a pilot study. Ninety-two percent of the 39 children receiving bioengineered T cells had no evidence of cancer at one month after treatment, with this complete response persisting in some cases for more than two years. The personalized cell therapy reprograms a patients immune system and offers the potential of long-term success. As we continue to follow children in this study, we see exciting results for patients who have exhausted their other treatment options, said study leader Stephan A. Grupp, M.D., Ph.D., a pediatric oncologist at The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia and a Professor of Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania. Grupp described outcomes and follow-up results of this pilot clinical trial for pediatric patients with ALL in a press program today at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) in San Francisco. Grupp, first author Shannon Maude, M.D., Ph.D., a pediatric oncologist at CHOP and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the Perelman School of … Continue reading →
